The World's #1 DJ is playing in Auckland on Wednesday December 5th. Book in a sick day now! There is no other DJ that gets me as excited as Paul Van Dyk (aka PvD). He’s widely regarded as God to millions of party people. He likes to entertain, meet his fans and nudge down a hefty sum of drinks from his elaborate rider, before, during and after his set. To find out more about it, and for my full weekly review, click here. And now onto to the prizes and the definitive list of what’s coming up over the next 7 days…     Thumbs Up To... Keith Park, Dayrel Richardson and Olivia Kinley won the DVD/CD compilation “Ku De Ta”. I’ve seen/heard it, it’s a dream and I want to go. If I organized a trip there for March next year who’d be keen? James Armitage, Nic Reid, John Watson, Justin Watts and Penny Tripp all have their names on the VIP door-list for my party “Sleepless” on October 27th @ SpyBar. Deon Didois and Sarah Richards will be joining me and about 1000 others at Stonyridge this weekend for the “Sundown” dance party.

Over the last ten years audiences have been drawn to the beauty and skill of this ground breaking company, unique for its integration of professional dancers and choreographers with and without a disability. Highly regarded for their innovation and “flying” which sees wheelchairs and dancers suspended and swinging above the stage, the company creates work to challenge public perception. Lusi’s Eden is a theatrical journey which sees the heroine, Lusi Faiva, trade her electric wheelchair for a harness to fly her to freedom across the stage, and high above the audience.     Thursday October 18th The Groove Academy Launch SpyBar, 204 Quay St, Viaduct Harbour No Charge. 9pm – Late Tim Lunken from Clyne Models launches this regular Thursday night party, and good on him.
